RIP Walter

 

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write this post.  Our old, loving, funny guy Walter passed away on Friday, July 27th.  He was such a good boy, and he gave us nearly two years of laughter and joy.

He came to us as an old man, already suffering from some normal ailments older dogs have -- fatty tumors and stiff joints.  We knew we wouldn't get much time with him.

He loved sitting on the back porch watching the days go by, chasing bunnies under the shed, and going on walks.  But, as dogs do, he began to have trouble getting up off the floor and navigating the stairs.  His body just decided the time had come, and we made the decision to let him go.  While there is comfort in making that decision for him, it's still hard to see him go.
